The matter was push ed forward by persons influenced by either pique or jealousy. The county absolutely needs the court, and it is less expensive by some $l300 per au uum than tho old form. Mr. Norment opposed the bill. Mr. Etheridge said the Democrats of Wake, the Magistrates of the couuty, aid not wish the court abolished. It was a republican attempt to foist a negro solicitor upon the peo ple of Wake. Mr. Richardson said the couuty was in debt, that the salaries of the officers were a burden. The people cf the county asked tha abolition of the court. Mr. Ellison also favored this view. Mr. Col well said it was strange tbat the Magistrates had not requested .1 lla n I a l .1 i tuo aoianiou oi ine couit. out naa rat hor endorsed ithus evidently think-i-ig it a beneti-. lie read a statement cf the comparative cost of the Superior and Crimiual Courts, showing a balance of some $ 1,800 in favor of the latter. Mr. Richardson said the statement was false, lie went onto say that the influence oftheciurt had bulldozed tha Magis trates. Mr. Barringer did not thiuk the representatives of other counties s'lould dictate to those of Wake. Mr. Lockhart said the figures submitted must have weight in favor of the Crirn. inal Court. Even if there be the error named, there are other questions thaii tho.e of expense, aud the saving of time aud expediting of business are great by the Criminal Court. The rep resentatives of other counties have an equ il right with those of Wake in the discussion of questions of such moment. Mr. Atkinsou favored the bill, as one demauded by the people of the county. Mr. Wynne endorsed the statements of Mr. Richardson, as he favored the in. teres'.s of the Democrats of Wake, who certainly wished the court abolished. The matter was not brought before the Magistrates properly. Mr. Covington opposed the bill, saying that those who favored it did not consult the best in terests of the county of Wake. If the Magistrates had desired the court abolished they would have taken some action. There is no court which is to take the place of the Criminal Court if it is abolished. Wake has as many criminals as any couuty in the State. Now she pays lor their trials, but if this courc is abolished, the other counties will have to pay their share of the cost. Mr. Ferrell endorsed tho views of Mr. Richardson, his colleague , aud knew tbat tho people, both republican and demociatic, desired the abolition of the court. Mr. Norment spoke on tbe bill, sayirg that the people of Wake knew their wants, and that he would vote for the abolition of the court. Mr. Amis said he would vote for the bill, as it was the wish of all the representatives of Wake. The previous question was then call ed upou the passage of the bill, as amended, on its third reading.

On a trial for forgery it is sufficient at the trial to show any. r person who c )nld be defrauded and against whom e tntentt--to defraud -s directed, in proof of th" general averment of the intent to defraud. It is not necessary or proper that the verdict saould specify the person intended to be de frauaed. The words ''order for the delivery of goods" in our statute only includes orders drawn by persons hav ing a disposing power over the goods upon a person under obligation to obey It is not however so restricted in an in dictment concluding at common law.

Where an allegation in the complaint is not denied in the answer the fact is admitted and the effect of th-d admis sion is as available to the plaintiff as if found by the jury. An issue as to such fact is wholly unnecessary aod immaterial. W here an action is not instituted to correct or reform the deed itself on the ground of accident, fraud, mistake or undue advantage parol evidence is inadmissible to convert an absolute deed into a trust or mortgage. Where a parol agreement to chauge an abso lute dted into a mortgage or trust is denied by the answer it is unnecessary for the defendant to set up the statute of frauds iu his pleadings. By Smith.

An objoctiou that a juror is an athe ist made when the defendant is asked if he has any cause to show sentence of death should not be passed upon him comes too late. The challenge propter defectum should hi made as the juror is brought to the book to be ssvoru and if not tueu made the defendant waives his light of challenge and it makes no difference that the ground of objection existed at tb tima the juror was sworn but was not dissoverei till afterwards. Iu such a caso the court which tries the prisoner may in its discretion award a new trial but no appeal lies from its refusal to do so. By Ashe, J. 25. Walcer vs Dicks, from Foisythe. Under the preseut system, a surety before ha has suffered from his surety ship, may use his liability as an equit able set oft' against a debt he owes his insolvent principal and this defence will avail him equally against an assignee, provided the note is overdue when as feigned or is assigned with notico.

There appeared iu your c dumns of the 1st inst., an article signed "Re trenchment," written from Chatham, whose tenor (though "adroitly" writ ten) seems to me is inconsistent with the best interests of the county and State. The author appears to thiuk that the Legislature has a bill before it to purchaso lrom one lieck, Lobdell & Co. , the whole of Deep aud Cain Fear Rivers, at whatever price thev may ask, and saddle the debt upon the State. Iu that he does the friends ot the bill an in justice, aud ri fleets upon the intelligence of the Legislature. If I understand aright, the object of the Chatham resolutions is for the legis lature to open negotiations with the American Irou-x Steel Company, and see if it is not practicable for the State to regain possession of its franchises in the C. F. & D. R. Navigition Com pany. I believe a satisfactory arrange ment can be made; at least I do nbt think Heck it Co., can "bululoze" the Legislature, composed of practical, in telligent men tiom all parts ol tho State, into their terms. 1 am wui: n to trust tho Legislature. "Retrench ment" begins his articla by an attempt to belittle the meeting that passed the resolutions. He states that Mr. Man ning opposed the resolutions, when it is well known he warmly advocated them; that Speaker Moiing, not having the fear of ''Retrenchment" before his i-a r At 1. eyes, did, with malice aioretuount, come down on the floor aud advocate. the measure. Chatham will ever honor her sons who are ready to protect and advance her interests. The latter half of his article, except the Auster litzs soldiers, is simply a disquisition upon the "trading qualities" of J. M. Heck, and is not germane to the sub ject. Whether Lobdell & Co., or Os good & Co., or anybody else got ex perience instead of profit by trading with A. or B. is immaterial to the gen eral public. But this move in the in terest of interual improvement is of great interest to the whole State, and Chatham county in particular, Here is a county in whose bounns nature has implanted an inexhaustible supply of coal and iron, and perhaps copper, gold and other minerals. Here is a large river running d'aonauy through the State, whose tributaries - penetrate the best poition thereoi. it runs through this mineral section, and could the State regaiu her stolen fran chise, I am informed our Senators be lieve a good appropriation could, ba obtained from tho general government. What an impetus a halt million dollars expended in this rection would give to returning prosperity! It is not a vain hope, for has not the (jrovernment already given $200,000.00 to open the mouth of this very river at Wilming ton, and a large sum to open a por tion nf the French Broad in the West'.' I Even now the Yadkiu is being survey ed with the same object in view, and will be made navigable to a point with in 30 miles of Carbontoa in Moore county oa Deep River. But "Retrenchment" says we havd already a Railroad trom the Gulf to Fayette ville . Tru3, but does he n t know that Railroad transportation has ever been "the stumbling block to min eral development in North Carolina? And if that Railroad be extended to Ore Kuob for the purpose of bringing down heavy freight, does he not know that if it breaks bulk at a point in Chatham, it would be of immeuse ben efit to the county? That it would be a nucleus for rolling mills, factories etc., for which the river furnishes mjro than ample water power? He says he favors lending convict ' labor to the enterprise. When it be comes the propei ty of the State then she may aud will give her convict la bor, not until. Nor can we expect any aid from CoDgresa while the property remains in the hands of individuals. "Retrenchment" undertakes to bull doze the Lsgislature by ridiculing its efforts to lighten the load and lift tho burdeus from the sore backs of our people, and iniimating that its acts will be as infamous as the gallantry of the soldier of Autherlitzs was famous. Vv e are 6l iw to believe that that body of men, three riftha of whom oomo from the yeomanry of the land, will ciTa An. anut.hincr to brinsT disgrace up on tha name of a Democratic Legisla ture.
